Commit to Submit (C2S)
Commit to Submit (C2S) is a semester-long training for all new faculty with research components to their job description. Each cohort meets approximately monthly to be introduced to the ASU granting ecosystem, practice developing their one-pagers and elevator pitches, talk with program officers, develop budgets, learn about ASU resources like high-performance computing and equipment clusters, and meet many of the leaders in Knowledge Enterprise at ASU. Other faculty are welcome to join if they are wanting to brush up on their grant-submission skills. Commit to Submit is specifically designed to feed into workshops provided by the KE Research Academy, and New College faculty are strongly encouraged to participate in these.
OUR ANNUAL COMMIT TO SUBMIT PROGRAM, HELD EVERY FALL, WILL SUPPORT NEW FACULTY TO:
- Develop their research project ideasEngage in grant seeking
- Rehearse communicating their research ideas
- Learn about the research support available to them at ASU and build a network of peers that can support their work as reviewers, advisers, collaborators.
PARTICIPANTS: New tenured/tenure-track faculty commencing at New College every Fall, and invited faculty.
OUTPUTS: At the end of the program, faculty will have:
- A 1-page summary of a research project idea to use in discussions with program officers and colleagues, or as a basis to begin the grant writing process
- Budgeting tool
- Network of New College colleagues that may be future collaborators and peer supporters.
EXPECTATIONS: Following the program, faculty will be encouraged to commit to submitting 1+ grant proposals to a major sponsor (or 2+ proposals to smaller sponsors) within next calendar year.
